Two minors have been taken into custody after another young person was shot at Skyline High School in Oakland on Wednesday afternoon, according to officials.

Oakland‘s Assistant Police Chief James Beere told reporters that officers responded to a shooting at the Oakland Hills school, located at 12250 Skyline Blvd., shortly after 1:30 p.m.

Beere said officers rendered aid to one victim, who has been transferred to a local hospital. He said officials believe the victim will survive their injuries.

Beere could not confirm whether any of the three juveniles were students.

Officials said they recovered two firearms on the scene and confirmed that multiple shots were fired.

“Right now, the campus is safe, and we believe that everyone that was involved has either been taken into custody or is currently being treated,” Beere said.

It’s not yet clear what prompted the shooting.

Last May, a shooting outside the school’s graduation ceremony injured three people. Earlier this fall, the school was put on lockdown for multiple hours while police investigated what ended up being an unverified report that a student had brought a gun to campus.

This is a developing story, and it will be updated.
